Go back to 2009 and 2002 and you'll see very similar sentiments. The Bay Area is done. The author compares this to the decline of Yahoo. It started grinding lower and never recovered. But a better analogy might be Amazon. It was finished in 2002 and was worse for wear in 2009. How would you say Amazon is doing today? Some tech companies can come back from the brink. Most can't. I'd compare the Bay Area to a tech company with 9 lives. Rumors of its death have always been greatly exaggerated.
